Marcato Pasta Drying Rack Tacapasta - Red

Great machine, assuming you know how to make good dough. It'll last a lifetime if you take care of it, and it looks great. I also use it for Chinese noodles.I didn't actually buy the pasta machine here, I've had it for years. I bought the drying rack in a matching color, which is a good, stable design that is easy to deploy, and just as easily collapses for storage. It's a lot larger than the banner picture suggests (it's 18" tall scaled down to fit), so there's plenty of room to hang noodles, about 8 servings. Top hanger is about 16" high and bottom hanger is about 8" high, so you can have 16" noodles on the bottom one. It's plastic so it's easy to clean.

I bought this for my mother. She has never made her own pasta before. She reported back that the machine was easy to use. She was able to make the dough and form the pasta in roughly 30 minutes her first time and felt like it would be even quicker once she got used to everything. The machine itself is very attractive and looks nice left out on their countertop. She also felt like it was nicely built and seemed high quality - she feels it will last a long time. She (and my dad) are quite happy!

Best Pasta Drying Rack

I researched various types of pasta drying racks and this one had the best comments so I bought it today.It looks very modern, is constructed well and folds up fairly flat for storage.I made a half portion of pasta and used 4 of the 16 spiraling rods for drying on one side. The rack was stable on the countertop with it's 3 tripod leg and flat triangular rubber feet even with my lopsided pasta distribution.I would recommend this to anyone who makes fresh pasta. Though it is pricey, it's worth not having to assemble loose pieces and there's no pieces to loose.There was a photo of on the back of the box about a pull out wand from the core of the rack-but no explanation. The last photo vaguely shows it being used on the rod possibly to transfer the cut pasta strands ... MoreI researched various types of pasta drying racks and this one had the best comments so I bought it today.It looks very modern, is constructed well and folds up fairly flat for storage.I made a half portion of pasta and used 4 of the 16 spiraling rods for drying on one side.

I did not see this before using it and used a long wooden cooking chopstick instead to transfer the pasta to the stand.I'll have to try this the next time I make pasta.JCF

Fun, stylish and useful gadget.

The pasta tree is easy to use and the wand in the middle proved to be a great help when I made some pasta. It has solid legs and is fun to set up as well as being stylish.

Lots of space & folds small

Holds a lot of pasta to dry compared to others and folds narrow for storage. Bought this because of the amunt of pasta we make at a time and any of the smaller ones would be a false economy.

Must have for home pasta makers

This is an almost perfect pasta rack. It is not the most compact pasta drying rack for storage purposes, but its usefulness makes up for its bulkiness. I owned a wooden rack previously that was difficult to load. This pasta drying rack is extremely easy to load freshly made pasta with the included pasta wand.

Perfect 🤩

It worked just now we wanted it too.It holds enough for two people.There was no instruction about what to do with the wand down the middle, but we quickly worked it out.I do recommend

So easy to use! Great for Compact spaces

Easy to use and dries a batch of pasta in a compact space. Fold flat and easy to store. I give these and the Marcato atlas 150 pasta maker as wedding and Christmas gifts. They are easy to use and fun for the entire family

Useful

Really nifty bit of kit and not something I ever really thought I needed but having struggled with drying my pasta, I gave this a go. I wasn't disappointed and it has aided the pasta making process.It neatly folds away for storing. The pull out stick thing is a great help.

Well made pasta rack.

Loads of room to spread pasta with the useful central wand for easy placement. The bottom racks are a bit low but this can be accommodated by standing the rack on something to raise the height. For me it hasn’t been an issue because it holds so much pasta I haven’t needed to use all the arms.The rack is study and has a quality look about it.
